Special Occasion Rose Gift Sets

New from British Roses - our Special Occasion Gift Sets are potted, presented in a ribbon-tied hessian bag and safely packed in a strong cardboard container to ensure that they arrive in pristine condition. Included in the price is a greetings card with your personal message. Also, each rose, which is in a 4 litre pot, is supplied with an attractive coloured label with a picture and description of the rose.

Let someone celebrate that special day with a beautiful rose gift that gives lasting pleasure and enjoyment whether it be for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, retirement, house warming, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just to say thank you.

A bouquet of roses can be quite expensive considering they will only last a week or so. A living rose bush will last for many years and give far more enjoyment.

Roses for Special Occasions

Ruby, Pearl, Golden or Silver Wedding Anniversary? Someone's Birthday, Wedding or Engagement? Congratulating someone? A Rose to remember a special person by? Why not buy a rose for that important occasion from our collection of Special Roses?

Roses for Difficult Areas

See our new section on roses that are suitable for growing in difficult areas. Whether you have a North facing wall or shady spot in your garden, we have a rose for you. We also have roses that can be grown as hedging and dense thorny barriers, which form an attractive yet effective boundary to protect your property.

Shown here is Mme Gregoire Staechelin growing in the fine Culpeper Garden at Leeds Castle in Kent, which is just minutes away from where we grow our roses at Rumwood Nurseries & Garden Centre.

Climbers

Vigorous climbing roses, diverse in growth and colour, some flowering in summer only, others flowering more than once in the same season, flowering in summer - autumn.

Climbing Patio

Climbing Patio roses are ideal for use when one requires a climbing rose minus some of the associated vigour. The more compact growth gives a denser mass of floribunda type blooms.

Floribunda

Floribunda roses take the form of a cluster-flowered bush. Shrubs that usually bloom more than once in the same season - usually large sprays of flowers in summer - autumn. Unrivalled for providing a long-lasting bedding display.

Ground Cover

Ground Cover roses are ideal for difficult areas, banks, places that are difficult to mow, etc. These plants form a colourful ground cover 'mat' between 30cm and 60cm in height with slight scent.

Hybrid Tea

The ever popular Hybrid Tea grows as a large-flowered bush. Differs from the floribunda group in that its blooms are larger and less in number. The striking blooms tend to be a classic rose shape. They usually bloom more than once in the same season with large flowers borne in summer - autumn.

Patio & Miniature

Patio & Miniature roses have limited growth and so can be successfully grown in restricted situations, for example, in pots indoors, rockeries, troughs, flower beds close to the house.

Ramblers

All strong growing with Floribunda type blooms. Ramblers are more rampant and pliable in growth than climbing roses.

Shrub Roses

Shrub Roses are a diverse group of roses. Most bloom more than once in the same season and are larger than bush roses, with flowers borne singly or in sprays in summer and/or autumn.

Standards

Standards give that extra depth and third dimension to flower beds and borders. They also look great in pots. Stems are approximately 1m tall.

Half Standards

Half Standards are just slightly lower than the full Standard. Stems are approximately 0.75m tall.

Quarter Standards

Quarter Standards look great near the patio or in a pot. Stems are approximately 0.5m tall.

Mini Standards

Mini Standards are great in pots for standing on a patio. The stems are approximately 0.3m tall.
